Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 713 Vested Interests

In December [-] of the AD calendar, winter was approaching and the wind was fierce. The war in the Far East was overwhelming with the massive counterattack of the Hanhai Army. The first, second and third armies of the Far East Uprising Army were successively destroyed. Let the main force of the rebel army be lost.

The commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Zhao Yun, led the remnants of the rebel army to flee all the way for more than 1000 miles, but in the end they could not escape the pursuit of the Hanhai light cavalry, and were finally killed in the dense forest of the Teutonic province. Zhao Yun was beheaded, It was announced that the vigorous Far East Uprising ended in failure.

From the outbreak of the Great Uprising on July [-] to the beheading of the commander-in-chief Zhao Yun in December, the Far East Uprising Army lasted less than five months from its glorious peak to its end. During their most glorious period, they regained the Far East Most of the provinces forced the Hanhai people in the Far East to shrink into three provinces.

However, the development and expansion of the Far East Uprising Army is too fast, which is unbelievable. The main force of many banner regiments can expand their strength from hundreds to tens of thousands of people in just one week, no matter how old or young they are. Both men and women can join the army to fight against the vast sea.

Although the blind and unrestrained rapid expansion of the army allowed the Far East uprising army to rapidly expand its strength, it was able to sweep the entire Far East region in a short period of time. Through the tactics of the sea of ​​​​people, the Hanhai people who were stationed in separate troops were beaten back steadily, and a series of victories were achieved. victory.

However, a series of problems caused by the rapid expansion of troops, such as insufficient equipment, insufficient food and grass, mixed good and bad soldiers, a large number of grassroots officers, lack of coordination and combat capabilities among generals, and competition for power and profit, finally caused this behemoth to collapse in the iron fist counterattack of the Hanhai Army. .

It can be said that the root cause of the failure of the Far East Uprising Army was planted from the very beginning. Most of their generals were slaves, farmers, etc. who could not read a few characters. But when facing the large corps, it seems that there is more than enough heart but not enough strength.

More importantly, most of the generals of the rebel army quickly began to degenerate after winning a series of victories. They held tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of troops, held high positions, and faced the temptation of money and beautiful women. down.

At the beginning of the uprising, these generals were still able to lead the charge, but in the later period, with the expansion of the size of the troops and the expansion of the occupied territory, they were no longer loyal to the charge, but were keen to plunder wealth and land.

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the leadership is like this, and the ordinary officers and soldiers below are also quickly corrupted, which consumes a lot of vitality from the inside of this insurgent army, which was originally lax in military discipline.

Although the main force of the Far East Uprising Army was wiped out, the Far East Fourth Army still firmly controlled several provinces around the Tielanguan Fortress under the leadership of the chief of staff, Mu Xue, and in the rest of the provinces and regions, the uprising The remnants of the army, the guerrillas are still active, they hide in swamps, forests, and villages, and they are still fighting with the counterattacking Hanhai army.

Although it took less than five months for the Far East Uprising Army to rise to collapse, it dealt a heavy blow to the Hanhai Empire. Especially in the early stage of the uprising, the sudden outbreak caused heavy losses to the Hanhai Empire's troops stationed in various places, almost 80.00 % of the local garrisons were annihilated, only the Hanhai field troops shrank back because of their strong combat power.

According to a rough estimate, the Hanhai Empire lost at least 50 elite troops in this vigorous uprising. Except that the Tenth Army of the Hanhai Empire was defeated by the rebel army led by Mu Xue on the frontal battlefield, the rest of the Hanhai Empire Most of the troops were stationed in the cities of various provinces, and it was too late to evacuate and were eventually wiped out.

These Hanhai soldiers lost are all elites of the Hanhai Empire, and their tactics against the rebel army were exhausted. 50 border guards entered the Far East to help suppress the uprising.

After the Hanhai army wiped out the first, second, and third armies in the Far East, with the power of a great victory, hundreds of thousands of elite troops were divided into several groups and swept across the Far East with thunderous momentum, bringing many provinces in the Far East back into the Hanhai Empire. control area.

The only remaining branch of the Far East Uprising Army is the Fourth Army of the Far East Uprising Army that broke through the Tielanguan Fortress. The total strength is about [-] banner regiments.

Mu Xue felt deeply distressed and sorry for the destruction of the Far East Uprising Army. At the beginning, the commander-in-chief Zhao Yun advocated continuing to attack the Hanhai people, while Mu Xue advocated digesting the occupied area first and resolving internal conflicts. The differences between the two high-level leaders became more and more serious Big, eventually had to part ways.

At that time, Mu Xue strongly opposed Zhao Yun's continued eastward attack, but most of the generals at that time were also dazzled by the consecutive victories, and couldn't listen to the persuasion at all. In the end, Zhao Yun sent Mu Xue to Tie Lan Close the fortress, hoping to independently receive the credit for recovering the Far East.

Now Zhao Yun not only did not get the honor of recovering the Far East, but also involved himself, and the main force of the Far East Uprising Army was also destroyed. It is very sad for this result to be bloody, but there is nothing he can do. His influence in the army is not as good as Zhao Yun.

But with the death of Zhao Yun and the destruction of a large number of generals, the only organized army in the Far East Uprising Army is the Fourth Far East Army, and Mu Xue, the original chief of staff, has also become the leader of the highest existing military rank. The bloody generals are regretful, and now they can only go all the way to Tielan Pass to join Muxue.

The disbanded rebel troops rushed from all over to Tielanguan Fortress to join Muxue, and the Fourth Army under Muxue's command grew rapidly. In just two weeks, five banner regiments were expanded.

Although the strength of the army has increased, and he has become the existing supreme leader of the rebel army in the Far East, Muxue is not happy at all. Along with the defeat of the army, there is also the powerful army of the Hanhai Empire. It was crushed towards Tielanguan Fortress.

Although Muxue did not blindly expand his army like Zhao Yun did. The more than 20 flag regiment soldiers under his command were all carefully selected young and middle-aged men, but they had joined the army for less than half a year. Compared with the elite of hundreds of battles, it is still more than one level worse.

If he encounters the Hanhai army head-on, Mu Xue believes that the rebel army under his command will definitely flee south and be destroyed, because on the frontal battlefield, the army of the original dynasty all returned home with feathers, except for the Nanchuan army who fought against the Hanhai army on the frontal battlefield. In addition to the army's attack, almost the vast sea swept invincible hands.

For the sake of the Far East and the No. 20 Group Army, Muxue sent someone to ask for help to Lin Chuan, Marshal of the Nanchuan Army, requesting the Nanchuan Army to enter the Far East to assist the rebels in driving out the Hanhai Army and restore freedom and peace in the Far East.

Lin Chuan, Marshal of the Nanchuan Army, took Muxue's request for help very seriously. After all, the Far East is vast and rich in resources, which is very important to the Nanchuan Army, so he immediately held a high-level meeting of the Nanchuan Army's military and political leaders to discuss sending troops to the Far East.
